(Reference for a preliminary ruling - Consumer protection - Directive 2011/83/EU - Consumer rights - Subscription of a consumer to an online learning platform - Automatic extension of the contract - Right of withdrawal)
(C/2023/734)
Language of the case: German
Appellant on a point of law: Verein für Konsumenteninformation
Respondent in the appeal on a point of law: Sofatutor GmbH
Article 9(1) of Directive 2011/83/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2011 on consumer rights, amending Council Directive 93/13/EEC and Directive 1999/44/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Directive 85/577/EEC and Directive 97/7/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council,
must be interpreted as meaning that the consumer’s right to withdraw from a distance contract is guaranteed only once in respect of a contract for the performance of services which provides for an initial free period for the consumer after which — unless the consumer terminates or withdraws from that contract during that period — payment is required for a period that is automatically extended — unless that contract is terminated — for a fixed term, provided that, when concluding that contract, the consumer has been informed in a clear, comprehensible and explicit manner by that trader that, after that initial free period, payment will be required for that performance of services.
